3 Pam Iorio, Mayor EXEC ie ORDER a GUIDELINES FOR JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE AND SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATON OF CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD FINES AND LIENS WHEREAS, Chapter 9 of the City of Tampa Code provides for the imposition of fines and the creation of liens against properties found in violation of City Codes and ordinances by the Code Enforcement Board, and WHEREAS, the Office of the City Attorney is authorized to enforce those fines and liens pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 162, Part I, Florida Statutes, and WHEREAS, it is desirable and in the best interest of the City of Tampa to implement a uniform and comprehensive enforcement policy that will encourage prompt correction of code violations, and WHEREAS, previous policies for the negotiation of Code Enforcement Board fine reductions and judicial foreclosure of liens do not foster the above-stated objectives and do not provide the Department of Code Enforcement with guidelines to govern the selection of liens to refer to judicial foreclosure, NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me as the Mayor of the City of Tampa by Section 4.01 of the Charter of the City of Tampa and the laws of the State of Florida, I do hereby proscribe and promulgate the following: 1. The Department of Code Enforcement, in consultation with the Legal Department, will identify on a regular basis those files that are candidates for judicial foreclosure pursuant to the following criteria: The property encumbered by the lien is not homestead-exempt property. The violations giving rise to the liens are serious enough, in nature and frequency, to merit abatement by judicial foreclosure.

4 The City has the capacity to abate the underlying violations in the event that it must take title to the property upon foreclosure sale. The accrued fines are sufficiently high to justify the cost of judicial foreclosure. The City has an existing or prospective use for the property on its own account, or alternatively, the property may be readily marketable to third parties so as to minimize the City expenses for marketing and disposing of the same. When vacant lots are involved, the lot should be buildable unless the City has a present use for the property in a nonbuildable state. The property is not subject to superior encumbrances that would hinder or impede the City's capacity to retain the property for its own use or to market it to third parties. The property is not known or suspected of environmental contamination that may submit the City to incur clean-up costs or regulatory fines or penalties. When such contamination is known or suspected, the property should be referred to the proper regulatory or administrative agency with jurisdiction over such contamination. There are other City of Tampa liens, including special assessment liens, that may also be foreclosed against the property. Once the Department of Code Enforcement has selected a property as a candidate for judicial foreclosure following the foregoing criteria, the Legal Department will perform a legal evaluation and title search of the same to ensure that there are no legal issues that would prevent or hinder the successful foreclosure of the lien or liens. Settlements of cases referred to the Legal Department for foreclosure shall not be governed by the fine reduction guidelines set forth at Paragraph 3 below. The City Attorney's Office shall negotiate any settlement of cases in foreclosure in the same manner as any other litigation case and shall attempt whenever possible to recover the City's litigation costs and expenses. 3. The Legal Department shall be responsible, after the expiration of ninety days from the date a lien order is recorded, to pursue judicial foreclosure of the liens selected by the Department of Code Enforcen~ent and otherwise to pursue the recovery of the fines assessed by the Code Enforcement Board. The Legal Department shall have the authority to negotiate reductions and settlements of these fines pursuant to the following guidelines: On homestead-exempt properties where the violation(s) giving rise to the fine has been brought into code compliance: The lesser of the actual fine amount or $ plus any costs awarded by the Code Enforcement Board for a period up to one year after the date of an order. $ plus any costs awarded by the Code Enforcement Board for the period beginning one year after the date of an order but not exceeding two years from the date of an order.

5 An amount not less than $ plus any costs awarded by the Code Enforcement Board for the period beginning two years after the date of an order but not exceeding three years from the date of an order. After expiration of the third year from the date of an order, an amount not less that $1,000.00, plus any costs awarded by the Code Enforcement Board, but not to exceed the greater of (a) the appraised value of the property (land and structures) for the current year as it appears in the records of the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser's Office or (b) 10% of the purchase price of the property as reflected in a current contract or agreement for sale of the same. On non-homestead exempt property where the violation(s) giving rise to the fine has been complied : Actual fine amount or $ plus any cost awarded by the Code Enforcement Board for a period up to one year after the date the fine began to accrue. $1, plus any costs awarded by the Code Enforcement Board for the period beginning one year after the date the fine began to accrue but not exceeding two years therefroni. $2, plus any costs awarded by the Code Enforcement Board for the period beginning two years after the date the fine began to accrue but not exceeding three years therefrom. After the expiration of the third year from the date of an order, an amount not less than $2, plus any costs awarded by the Code Enforcement Board, but not to exceed the greater of (a) the appraised value of the property (land and structures) for the current year as it appears in the records of the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser's Office or (b) 10% of the purchase price of the property as reflected in a current contract or agreement for the sale of the same. The Legal Department may depart from the foregoing settlement guidelines for good cause shown in the nature of: Illness or physical handicaps. Severe financial hardship or change of financial circumstances. A prospective arms-length purchaser of the property agrees in writing to correct the violatioiis within a time-certain. The Legal Department may waive a fine if the violation(s) giving rise thereto are complied within ten days of the Board deadline and the total accrued fine does not

6 exceed $ Any cost assessed by the Board or incurred in the recordation of an order shall be collected even if a fine is waived. The foregoing guidelines for reductions and settlement of fines will not be applicable to those cases that are referred to the Legal Department for judicial foreclosures. 4. Any and all previous executive orders with respect to and in connection with the judicial foreclosure of liens and the enforcement and collection of Code Enforcement Board fines are hereby repealed to the extent they conflict with the provisions of this Order. 5. This Executive Order shall take effect immediately upon its execution. DONE AND ORDERED this a4y"day of Gebrkafq, Approved as to form:, PAM IORIO, MAYOR David L. ~~nith, City Attorney

Use of Mentoring Leave is limited to within the employee's normal total number of work hours in the work week of the employee so that the approval of the leave will not cause the employee to exceed the normal assigned hours per workweek. Mentoring Leave is not intended to cover every possible hour of participation in a program by an employee, however, employees may also be authorized the adjustment of their work hours and/or the use of accrued annual leave or compensatory time in combination with the use of Mentoring Leave. b. When special events warrant, an employee may aggregate the use of up to four hours for the month or combine hours within the month (for example, 2 hours in one week and 2 hours in another week; 1 hour in one week and 3 hours in another week) to participate in a specific mentoring activity. However, it is preferred that employees make use of the time by scheduling one hour per week so that they consistently participate in a the program. 1) In the event that an'employee utilizes four hours of Mentoring Leave for one event within the month, they may not use any additional Mentoring Leave until the commencement of the following month. 2) In the event that an employee utilizes a combination of hours, the % hour travel time (per usage) is not adjusted.

Employees with sustained performance should achieve salaries at the maximum of the ranges. Cases of significant recruitment or retention problems, serious salary compression issues, or specialized technical skills may demonstrate the need for a higher initial salary. It is also recognized that the managerial salary ranges overlap subordinate salary schedules in a manner consistent with the salary administration for other City employees and that a manager may be compensated initially at a rate less than subordinates who have reached the higher steps of their pay grades through merit and longevity or due to specialized technical skills. d. The Managerial Salary Schedule and Appointed Unclassified Salary Schedule may be adjusted at the discretion of the Mayor. 2.

Said payment shall not become a part of the employee's base salary and shall not be included in the calculation of future pay increases. Payment shall only be authorized based on extraordinary and exemplary performance andlor the assignment of a special project, temporary increase or change in duties, or other significant responsibility.

Rearading If an employee is eligible for an annual salary review for the current fiscal year within three months of a promotion, then the employee is eligible to receive, at the time of promotion, an additional amount equal to the increase the employee would have received but for the promotion.

The salary review date does not change. 7. Reclassifications A reclassification is a change in the employee's position classification caused by a change in the nature of the work required by the position. A reclassification to a higher level position is based on an increase in duties, responsibilities, and employment qualifications and is treated as if it were a promotion for the purposes of pay determination.
